I USE -OF THE RECALL
! AS CHASTISEMENT
Continued from Page One
the mayor and his police commissioners
! for making inspections of the district.
! one of which i pronounced an orgy.
The grand jury report ojfonornied the
I mayor nnd 'his officials of craft, but
' warned Ihcm Uiat a reopening of the
district would merit severe i rent merit,
i But the itntiigonisls of tho mayor nad
1 not been idle ami they procured an
unofficial minoritv report from six
1 memhers of the grand jury (its total
i membership is ninetocn) which declared
that the political syndicate that con-
trolled the restricted district was nc
j tuallv formed in the nmyor's otOce.
The "minoritv report was regarded as
I the oxpressiou of the defendants in the
libol suits, who had sought by every
means to procure tho indictment of tho
officials. It is now their principal
weapon in the recall fighk
But beforo the grand jury reported,
i the mayor had named Edward Kern to
succeed" Edwards on the board of pub- ,
lie works. Knowing the attitude of the
grand jurors, the antagonists of Harper
declared thnt the appointment of a man
who had voted for n gift of the fran-
chiso of the bed of the Los Augolcs
river from the city to the sea to an (
unknown applicant, dincuisfd as tho
Western Pacific, was justification for ;
tho recall. The declaration was taken
up bv tho Herald, a Democratic morn
nig paper opposed to Harper, and the
recall demanded. The .Municipal
league, a nonpartisan orcanizntion, and
the City club, another of the snmo char
acter, responded and fathered the re
call. Invitations were sent, out for a
special, meeting and a perceninu ol
those invited responded. It was de
cided that tho mayor must be recalled.
Candidate Is Namod.
Another meeting was cnlled (by ex
clusive invitation) to name a candi
date. W. D. Stephens, tho strongest
personality in public life in Los Ange
les, was unincd. but declined. Then it
became a Japhet's search for n father.
At tho Inst minute almost tho recall
set throw tho choice into a commit! oo
of fifteen, which selected George Alex
ander, just out as supervisor, as the
only one who would take the nomina
tion. Now the people arc asked to vote
on this qucstiou: "Shall Mayor Harper
be put out, of office and Alexander put
ini'' Thnt is what the recall means. It
is tho club over public officials to
chastise them for official dereliction.
It mnv be used whenever 25 per cent
of tho" voters at tho last municipal elec
tion pctitiou for its exorcise.
This is how that provision worked
horor Tho last municipal election was
in 1006, and 25 per cent of its vote
is 74S7; but there aro now 65,000 reg
istered voters iu tho city, so that tho
actual per ceut of tho total vole, re
quired is only 12 per cent. The peti
tion was obtained in two weeks and in
sured the election. There aro only two
candidates, the Socialist candidate hav
ing been illegally nominated and ex
cluded from the ballot.
But the real question before tho poo
plo is whether tho difference in opiuiou
as to a public official's acts is suf
ficient cause for recall. All through his
administration Harper has boon tho
point of attack by his political adver
saries. His every act has met accusa
tion as to motive. The recall was never
heard of until Woolwino started his
anti-vico crusado and the liberals
threntonod to recall his RUporior, City
Attornev Hewitt. This wnH throttled
by tho "mayor, whom tho liberals sup
port. Then tho libol suits woro begun
and the project to recall Harper fol
lowed, based on tho charge that his
appointment of Kern was pari of a
scheme to loot the aqueduct funds.
But the rccallists made no attempt
to recall tho citj' couucil, whoso mem
bers voted unanimously to confirm
Keru's appointment. Without such con
firmation, and tho council has several
nonpartisan members, the- appointment
could never have beon made. Tho coun
cil reallv controls all the mayor's ap
pointments, and. while responsibility
may originate with him, it must bo as
sumed in tho end by tho council. But
no recall of any of its members has
over boon suggested.
When tho recall was first used in the.
Sixth ward if was because Councilman
Davenport had-offended, tho labor in
terests by his voto in giving the. city
printing to tho Times at a price higher
than that bid by tho Express and tho
Journal. A collusive deal between tho
Express and Journal was disclosed. Tho
Times is non-union and the Sixth ward
is tho strong union labor field and the
hoi -bed of socialism. Davenport was
the most vulnerable, politically, of all
tho conncihnon and his ward offered
the one opportunity to invokn tho re
call. Jl was the firt uso of that prin
ciple iu America and wns watched with
interest. The result was tbo election of
Dr. A. D. Houghton over Davenport, a
consequent lawsuit to determine his
right to succeed, which sustained tho
right, but held that Davenport should
receive his salary. Houghton as a
' councilman was a" farce and brought
public ridicule on the recall. Even tho
Sixth ward repudiated him aud drove
him out of political life. If tho time
hadu't been so short he, too, might have
1 beon recalled. Ho satisfied nobody and
left an odious record.
What the people of Los Angeles are
thinking of now is whether a public
official, elected by tho people, should
bo made a defendant in the court of
public opinion because those who do not
like his political acts or who demand
tho indorsement of their own schomes
desire it. Is it right, thev are ask
ing, that a public official must bo
I kicked like a football between rival
political factions to displease nny ono
of which may bring on the recall and
put him to the expense of another cam
paign? What man of sound judgment;
and integrity will lake public office
under such circumsctancoFj or will auv
i one?
Tho recallj as a principle, is on trial.
The derelictions of Harper are not the
pa rarnouut .issue. The voters arc to
pass on the value of the recall, per
ho, and, there is a business men's or
ganization, largely Republican and auti
Hnrper, that is in exist uuce solely to
! defeat t.hcr movement, as a principle,
j Harper's candidacy is a mere incident
to them, and their support of him is
not becanso they believe ho did every
thing right, but because they believe
his errors, if such they wero! were of,
judgment, and that a mayor should
have the right to appoint whom he
pleases to office and be answerable for
them.
With the recall oligarchy, it is a
theory that ho who would stnv in of
fice, must name the men "we" want;
and what "we" ask. If they succeed
in tho recall, how many pettv oli
garchies will form ami whero 'will a
public official be "al?"
How It May Work.
Sonic Salt Lako City official mav
some be drafted to fill an office
hero if the recall principle is estab
lished, for if Harper is driven from
office, nis successor will not got com
fortably seated in the chair" until an
attempt will be made to recall him.

Stray Dogs Overrun the Streets;
Chief of PoJice Barlow's Remedy
"Within the past fow .weeks there
havo been many complaints received by
me regarding so many unlicensed dogs
running about tho city and I think it
is high time that something wns dono
to rid the city of them." says Chief
of Police Barlow.
Tn speaking about getting the stray
doga put away, Chief Barlow said: "I
bolicvo there are moro unlicensed dogs
about tho streets of Salt Lake than
ever before. Nearlj every day, and
sometimes oft Oner, wo are receiving
reports of small children and even
grown people being attacked and bit
Ion by stray dogs. I think that the
city should tako immediate steps to
have tho dogs captured aud killed in
the most humane manner possible.
"At this time tho dogs do not do
much damage, but when summer comes
and citizens itltonipt to havo nice
lawns and flower beds tho dogs run
over them and do no end of damage.
I remeinbor at one time in, this city a
bounty of 50 cents was paid for each
dog captured and killed, nnd I tell you
they disappeared like dow before the
sun. Then all a person had to do to
receive pay for killing a dog was to
present tho animal's oars at tho city
treasure's office. At Ogden a bounty
was paid for tho presentation of a dog s
tail and the story is told thnt two men,
ono in Salt Lake and one in Ogdon,
both in the dog-catching business,
would exchange the oars nnd tails of
the dogs captured and thus get a doublo
price. Thoro must bo hundreds of stray
dogs in this city. If tho city should
offer a bounty for dogs, T "think, it
would bo but a short whilo till the city
would bo wholly rid of thom.
"Conditions "havo got so bad thnt
ownors of licensed dogs do not put col
lars on them. Another bad feature
about having so many stray dogs about
is thnt thoy spread disoase. Ouo night
a dog w'ill" follow a man home and go
iulo his housu, whore, porhnps, thoro is
some member of tho family suffering
from a contagious disoase. The next
day the animal loaves and that very
I night will follow some other citizen to
his home to bo taken in out of sym
I pathy from tho cold night air. Tho
I animal brings tho disoase in ita fur
! from the first, house to the second, and
then it is wondered how the discaso
spread.
"There is no ono thnt likes a dog
or is better to thom than I, but for
tho safoty of tho general public I be
lieve rigid laws should bo made."
i Tim chief feels that tho proper au-
thoritios should tako up the matter,
but if they don;t he will do so. In
many eastern cities police officers aro
I instructed to capture all dogs running
about the streets without collars nnd
tako them to police headquarters, whoro
they aro kept the time required by
law for the owner to put in a claim
and then killed.

CAUSE OF THE ITALIAN
EARTHQUAKE UNKNOWN
ROME. Feb. 28. Tho causo of the
Calabria-Sicilian earthquake. says
Fathor Alfani, tho renowned Italian
seismologist of Fraucc, is unknown.
Much has boon written, many hypo
theses havo boon presented, but no" af
firmative can be made. The rovened
scientist ho is ono of tho fathers of
i the pious schools, and is director of tho
Ximonian observatory at Florence de
livered a lecture on Saturday last at
tho Roman college hero beforo a very
distinguished audience, among which
wore several ministers of state, profes
sors of t.ho univorsity and members of
tho nobility. By tho "uso of projections,
ho showed, to a certaiu degreo, tho ef
fect of the earthquake, by exhibiting
pictures of houses previous to the shock,
aud immediately after, when the dis
aster was accomplished.
Uo spoke of tho defects in the con
struction of buildings iu Messiua, which
after au earthquake were built worse
than before. In this connection ho
road extracts from a report on the
earthquake of Diana Marina, north
Italy, the destruction of which was ow
ing to defects in tho construction of
the town. Then, quoting Goethe, whom
he described aa not only a great poet,
but likewise a scientist, he related that
Goethe, contemplating, in 1787, tho
ruins of Messina, wrote pages to bo
remembered, reprobating be mode of
building which had rendered the dis
aster more destructive. There is little
reason to hope that the old and bad
method of building will bo' changed
now.
